Behaviour

GROUP CLASSES

We could all use a little more confidence at times.

Dogs lacking confidence in situations can lead to some unpredictable and unwanted behaviour. If you and your dog could use a little help we have the programmes for you.

CANINE CONFIDENCE

For dogs who have exhibited inappropriate behaviours towards humans

Based on dog and human friendly techniques that utilize the latest and most effective developments in canine cognition, this program provides a comprehensive protocol to diminish and replace inappropriate behaviour directed towards humans inside and outside the home.

On completion, you will have a better understanding of canine behaviour, what influences or triggers the behaviour and a variety of practical solutions and skills that will improve your dog’s social interaction with humans.

Training will include:

  • A two-hour lecture (without your dog) on canine development and behaviour to help you set realistic and achievable goals throughout the program.
  • A variety of effective techniques to interrupt and/or prevent high arousal and chronic stress as well as improve your dog’s tolerance to normal human social interaction inside and outside the home.
  • Training for reliable response to applied behaviour and obedience command
